About the Book

Teaching first-year law students how to apply essential lawyering skills, Preparing for Practice: Legal Analysis and Writing in Law School’s First Year, offers a hands-on and practice-based approach. Concise explanations of theory and context prepare students to tackle assignments using three realistic case files. True to practice, each of the three case files reflects the kind of documentation that lawyers work with every day. The case files also help students to become familiar and comfortable with the case files that appear on the Multi-State Performance Test (MPT).
